RECOVER DISKFILE Command
This file must contain a complete, syntactically valid BRCOM RESTORE command 
terminated with a semicolon. Thetape-device-name in the file will be overridden 
by the define name passed by MEDIASRV. If you use the IN oss-mx-restore-
in-file form of the command, you cannot specify any oss-mx-restore-
options. 
For Backup and Restore 2.0 syntax usage guidelines, refer to the Backup and 
Restore 2.0 Manual.
disk-file-name
is the name of the Enscribe disk file that was written to tape by the standard 
BACKUP or BACKCOPY utility and cataloged as belonging to tape-file-id. (All 
disk files written by one BACKUP or BACKCOPY operation are cataloged as 
belonging to one tape file. A tape file entry is made for the tape file ID of the 
backup tape, and a disk file entry is made for each disk file name that comprises 
the tape file. DSM/TC keeps track of which disk file entries belong to which tape file 
entry.)
When recovering more than one disk file on the same tape set, you can give 
multiple disk file names rather than entering RECOVER DISKFILE for each file. A 
maximum of 80 names is allowed. 
Wild-card characters are permitted in this name.
TAPEFILE { tape-file-id }
is the tape file ID of the entry that owns the disk file entry for disk-file-name. 
Wild-card characters are allowed in tape-file-id under these conditions:
Only one disk-file-name without wild-card characters is specified. 
If only an asterisk is given for tape-file-id, all tape file IDs owning disk-
file-name are checked to determine which has the most current entry for disk-
file-name. For more information on wild-card characters, see Considerations on 
page 2-158.
Wild-card characters are not permitted in tape-file-id under these conditions:
Multiple disk-file-names are specified.
One or more of the disk-file-names contain wild-card characters.
FILECAT { \node }
 { \node.file-catalog-name }
is the logical name of the file catalog to search for the disk file entry. Wild-card 
characters are permitted in this name. Include \node with the name when the file 
catalog is not on your current default node. The default is the name set by the 
FILECAT command.
